There are devices, like IDT PCIe-switches, which have more than just two ports.
Particularly one device can have up to eight ports with NTB-function activated.
In order to support such devices, NTB kernel API should be altered since
currently it's optimized to work with two-ports devices only.

Changelog v2:
 - Move comments from cover letter to individual patches
 - Combine patches to make code buildable
 - Alter patchset to support Intel SKX driver
 - Make sure all the API uses the same midx/widx/pidx/sidx arguments notation
 - Move new MW API usage description into Documention
 - Alter Spad/Msg API checking valid function to make spad and msg interfaces optional
 - Alter comments in ntb.h
 - Split: add NTB_SPEED_GEN4 and ntb.h comments into separate patches
 - Put copyrights into some of the existing patches
 - Get rid of TOPO updates
